Responding publicly a bit late to a 2021/07/28 23:38:26 UTC PM from miguel... I still have a pulse, thanks. And hope you and our other team members are doing as well as possible. Why haven't I posted since 2021/07/02 04:30:13 UTC? Probably the same reasons nobody else has. - The sport's way down in ...

Jim Rooney - 2011/08/28 10:40:24 UTC You're 100% onto it... relying on the skill of the pilot is a numbers game that you'll lose at some point. ...your skills abruptly failed you ...

Long overdue update... I'm probably still alive now 'cause of some massive efforts of my brother. Based upon the total crap I'd gotten from my dermatologist I'd written off the bleach treatments as just more snake oil they were using to keep me off their backs for another six months.

Wow, a post from someone who isn't me. Last time that happened was 2021/05/12 16:57:46 UTC - six and a half weeks ago. Sorry for the late response and recognition - didn't check for traffic between 2021/06/22 13:05:54 UTC and 2021/06/26 12:39:07 UTC. I can't figure out why people want to make AT suc...

I hadn't known anything was gonna be ha...

The flare window is really long on a T2, maybe 2 seconds or ...

http://www.hanggliding.org/viewtopic.php?t=37049 Possible the Greatest Flying moment of my flying career NMERider - 2021/05/17 23:30:53 UTC Well, your TBI rehabilitation helped at least one other pilot who, along with his wife, benefited from your sister's knowledge of TBI recovery. In fact I ran in...

Went around the corner again Monday afternoon to monitor the Cicada action. Started seeing scores of them smashed on the asphalt - along with a small Garter Snake. Rescued a few of the insects until I was out of steam and had to turn back. I tossed one rescue back towards a tree and it would be the ...
